Patagonia’s definition of success stretches far beyond units sold and profits earned. The company prides itself on creating products that not only offer great value, but also tread lightly on the planet.

Patagonia ensures a product’s environmental integrity by starting at the source—fabric. The company travels the globe in search of only the best quality performance fabrics that carry the lightest environmental impact. Hemp, organic cotton and chemical-free wool are just a few signature woven and knit materials.

Shopgreen offers many items for men and women that are made from these eco-materials. Stay tuned for explanations as to why Patagonia sourced materials offer exceptional environmental and performance benefits.

Patagonia Men’s Prefontaine Jacket is made of stretch-jersey 100% organic cotton. Just one of many of the companies eco-fabric garments.
